The stage is set at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u for a fascinating encounter as Real Madrid, boasting the most prolific attack in the competition so far, host a Monaco side who have struggled to turn chances into goals. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kick-off is scheduled for 20:00 on Tuesday, with both teams needing points to shape their Champions League<\/a> ambitions. The focus will be on whether Monaco can finally convert their underlying numbers into results or if Real Madrid\u2019s clinical finishing, spearheaded by Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, will prove too much to handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 Anytime Scorer<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/9 @ Bet365<\/a>
(69.2%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nMbapp\u00e9 has netted 9 goals from just 2.59 xG\u2014an extraordinary rate\u2014making him the top scorer in the tournament. His shot accuracy is over 50%, and with Monaco conceding more than a goal per game, he\u2019s the most likely to find the net again.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams to Score: No<\/strong><\/td>\n11\/10 @ Bet365<\/a>
(47.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nMonaco have underperformed their xG and have managed only 7 goals in 6 games. Real Madrid have kept 2 clean sheets, and Monaco\u2019s lack of efficiency in front of goal could see them fire blanks again in Madrid.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
